Sony DSC-HX100V announcement clippings

Ideal for travellers and photo enthusiasts, the flagship Cyber-shot™ HX100V features a Vario-Sonnar lens by Carl Zeiss with T* coating on optical surfaces that virtually eliminates flare. This premium lens offers an ultra-powerful 30x optical zoom range for crisply-detailed close-ups of distant subjects. Comfortable to hold and carry, the camera's styling echoes the body shape and control layout of larger DSLR designs.

Despite its powerful zoom range, the HX100V can capture crisp, blur-free images with significantly reduced handshake, even while you're walking along. The camera's Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode is a powerful image stabilisation system with ‘3-way shake cancellation' as found on premium Handycam® camcorders by Sony. You'll be rewarded with clearer results when you're shooting handheld, even at telephoto settings where camera shake is most pronounced.

The HX100V offers a choice of 3D shooting options with 3D Sweep Panorama, 3D Still Image and Sweep Multi Angle. In another Cyber-shot first, the 16.2 effective megapixel Exmor R CMOS Sensor inside the camera supports a brand-new Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR (High Resolution) mode. Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera: Cyber-shot captures huge panoramic images with an incredible 10480x4096 resolution.
